9 of April in Åre Plogga Day with @erikahlstroms

9 of April in Åre
Plogga Day with @erikahlstromsweden and @arebyturistforening (Åre Village & the Tourist Association), you can look forward to an inspiring talk about how it all began in just Åre and how the initiative has grown into a global movement.

Erik will give an approximately 20-30 minute presentation on the importance of staying physically active while taking care of our planet in a fun and motivating way.

After the talk, we’ll head out together for a plogging session. Those who want can run, while others may prefer a more relaxed walk everyone participates in their own way.
Additionally, the event will include a guided historical Plogga walking tour through Åre village, offering insights into the area’s rich history.

We’ll then finish with a group reflection, highlighting achievements such as the most collected trash, the most useful finds, the most unusual item, and the funniest discovery.

The event will conclude with a prize draw, where all participants have the chance to win great prizes generously sponsored by our partners who share our commitment to making the world a better place.

Succe!

Det var ca 1000 pers som demonstrerade för miljön under Miljömarschen i Göteborg.

Vi gjorde det vi anser är enklast för miljön o vår egen hälsa, vi böjde oss ner (Ploggade upp skräpet ) och visade att vi bryr oss, vi skapade som alltid glädje och stor uppmärksamhet.

"Även organisationen Plogga fanns på plats i tåget, och de missade givetvis inte tillfället att plocka lite skräp under tiden.

– Det känns viktigt att kunna göra något handgripligt och det är roligt att kunna inspirera andra. Om någon ser mig agera lite udda så kanske de tänker ”han plockar upp min skit, då kanske jag ska låta bli att slänga det säger en av Ploggas ambassadörer @hakankarlsten

Before heading home, our founder had the chance to meet some of his biggest inspirations: Sam, Gary and the team behind Sungai Watch.

Not only did he meet them, He met them right in the middle of the action, standing in the river with plastic up to their chest while they were removing plastic.

They’re now about to start a 57-day expedition from Bali to Jakarta, running 25 km every day to raise $1M to fight plastic pollution. In just six years their organization has already removed 4.5 million kilos of plastic from nature. During these 57 days, the goal is another 1 million kilos.

Thank you Sam, Gary and the whole Sungai Watch team. Truly inspiring.

Sungai Watch
"Founded by siblings Gary Bencheghib, Sam Bencheghib and Kelly Bencheghib, Sungai Watch has become one of the most impactful grassroots efforts tackling plastic pollution in Indonesia. Their mission is simple but powerful: stop plastic before it reaches the ocean.
Working primarily in Bali’s rivers, the team installs simple yet highly effective river barriers that capture plastic waste flowing downstream. Once collected, the waste is sorted, documented, and properly recycled or disposed of, creating a transparent system that tracks exactly how much plastic is being removed from the environment.
But their work goes far beyond cleanup. Sungai Watch collaborates closely with local communities, governments, and businesses to improve waste management systems and raise awareness about the scale of the plastic crisis. Education programs, community cleanups, and data collection are all part of their strategy to create long-term change.
Seeing their work up close makes one thing clear: this isn’t just an environmental project—it’s a movement driven by dedication, innovation, and an unshakable belief that rivers can run clean again.
And standing there in the river with them, surrounded by the plastic they are fighting every day, it’s impossible not to feel hopeful about what determined people can accomplish"

Bring your trash back and also take more than you

Bring your trash back and also take more than you came out with.
Because every small action adds up. Clean cities, roads, trails, clear waters, better future. 💚

More litter bins don’t solve the problem. Responsibility does. The cities, mountains, forests, and beaches aren’t a dump, they belong to all of us.

And if you see litter, plogg it up. Are you in? 🌍✨

Once again, today proved how little effort it actually takes to make a BIG difference.

When we visited the famous Spiderweb Rice Terraces in Flores/Indonisia we brought two Plogga bags with us. A few local kids came along to show us the way and when they saw us start plogging, they got so excited.
At first they helped a little and then they completely took over.

They cleaned the paths until they were spotless.
Afterwards they were proud, smiling, and genuinely happy. We explained why we did it, and you could literally see it click in their eyes, that this wasn’t just about trash, it was about caring for something that matters.

Imagine if every tourist did the same. It’s not hard.

Travel with purpose!

Lead by example. Encourage others.

Just bend down and pick up what doesn’t belong.

What else are your arms and hands for when you’re walking or jogging anyway?

Be the change you want to see in the world. 🌍🧡

It’s hard to describe the feeling of seeing beaches covered in plastic. It can make you feel powerless.
But we believe change starts with people, conversations, education, and small actions that spread.
We’re trying to stay long, connecting with resorts, travelagents, guides, local people, schools, communities, and doing what we can.

Thanks Sulawesi, Next stop: Lombok & Bali. 🤍🌍♻️

Welcome to the global family🌍🗑️🙏👍🏃‍♀️🏃

Today marks the beginning of a new journey.
One Bag Trash has officially launched Plogging (Run & Cleaning) in Bangladesh for the very first time.

From young children to energetic youth and inspiring elderly participants, people from all age groups joined us with great enthusiasm. Their spontaneous participation truly motivated us and showed that caring for the environment has no age limit.

After nearly 30 minutes of Run & Cleaning, the collected waste was segregated category-wise, reflecting a responsible and practical approach to waste management.

Varför kan vi inte bryta stigmat tror du?

"Det här priset handlar inte bara om mig, utan om oss alla om något väldigt enkelt: att skapa en ny vana och bryta ett stigma. Det handlar inte bara om att plocka skräp, utan också om att skapa rörelse, energi och glädje. Och det handlar om stolthet, om ansvar, om att bry sig. Det ska inte vara konstigt att plocka upp någon annans skräp, det ska vara konstigt att låta bli, säger Erik Ahlström"

In Chamonix, France, real progress has been made in reducing cigarette litter, one of the biggest pollution issues in urban environments. This is the start of a movement toward a litter-free town.
This approach s also called nudging: encouraging positive behavior through small, smart changes.
Well done, France and congratulations to the plogging community across the country for leading by example.
